The Chicago Reed Quartet, a “classical cover band,” provides a novel, alternative experience — a way to hear familiar works in a new instrumental context. From Bach to Piazzolla, from solo piano literature to orchestral warhorses, the idiosyncratic instrumentation of a reed quartet is sure to refresh listeners’ ears. This program includes selections from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, Gershwin’s Three Preludes, Piazzolla’s Fuga y Misterio, Corelli's Christmas Cantata, selections from Handel's Messiah, and more.

By Anton Chekhov
A new version by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Joyce Piven
October 18 - November 21, 2010

The Three Sisters, by Anton Chekhov, depicts an entire village of unlucky lovers struggling with the bittersweet distance between reality and dreams. The three sisters: schoolmistress Olga, married Masha and idealistic Irina, are stuck in a backwater town, and long to get to Moscow where they imagine their lives will be transformed.

This classic tale, steeped in longing, is given another look in a new version adapted by Sarah Ruhl, one of America’s most acclaimed young playwrights, and author of In the Next Room (Or the Vibrator Play). The Chicago Premiere is directed by Chicago theatre veteran Joyce Piven, the co-founder and Artistic Director Emeritus of Piven Theatre Workshop. Discover the humor and heartbreak of one of the world’s great plays, retold by one of the most original voices in contemporary theatre.
